An update....

e01n is still in ICU. The Pulmonologist attempted a weaning trial today. He lasted 2 hours on only pressure support (which means he was breathing on his own for the first time in two days). To wean, he had to be taken off the Propofol (that's a sedative drip which keeps his heart rate even and ensures he's not tempted to yank out the endotracheal tube) so he was awake enough to hear me and respond with nods and hand gestures. He was happy to hear so many people care, as am I. When I left he was very tired which is typical for someone trying to breath on their own again. We take for granted that we expend energy to breath every day. Then when a machine breathes for us and we all of a sudden have to do it again, we may as well run a marathon without training. It's tough.

He won't be home for Christmas, I know that for sure. Hopefully tomorrow's wean will go longer and the next day even longer then the doctor will remove the ET tube. Once he's breathing without any vent assist, they will determine if his pneumonia is stable enough to let him come home on by mouth antibiotics vs. those via central line right now. The increase in IV fluids and antibiotics have made the renal failure resolve and his output is good and blood work is more in line now. Thank goodness that was only acute. I don't know what would have happened had he needed dialysis too.

So right now, we are thinking good thoughts that e01n's lungs will be strong enough to wean in the next day or two and that while he's there he doesn't get a blood stream infection, CDiff or wounds.

Again, thank you so much for all your support and well wishes.

i don't know you, but i'm sending prayers and well wishes for a speedy recovery. i've had picc lines, they're not that bad. with you being a nurse, he could probably come home on iv antibiotics if necessary. and home is the best place to heal.

That is good news for sure Donna and I am relieved to hear he's slowly getting better and stronger. It is a sure thing that with all the loving support from you and yours plus all of us here in the boards will ensure e01n will have a fully and speedy recovery! Let e01n know that if he doesn't listen to doctor's orders to rest and allow his body to repair itself fully, I will make a special trip down there and personally molesticate him like he's never beeen molesticated before.....muhahahahaha!

latest news:

e01n's completely off the vent today. A day longer than expected but he's off! Tomorrow the doctor plans to send him to a med surg floor and start making him walk a bit. He's going to be on steroids for a few days to help improve his breathing. He's also on Lasix to help remove some of the fluid. He's still on a ventimask at 10 l/m of 02. (that's a lot) but he ate a bit of liquid dinner tonight and was in decent spirits. Hopefully he'll be home in about 5-7 days. He says thank you for all the warm wishes.

As for me, wow...I feel so much emptiness where he belongs in this house. I miss his voice (hearing it the first time today was an amazing Christmas present), I miss looking up and seeing him sitting across from me in the evenings and more than anything I miss feeling his great big warm fuzzy hugs. There truly is no better pillow than him at night. He brings so much to our home each and every day.

A while back we decided he should seek employment outside the house and that lasted all of about two weeks before my greedy "I want him all to myself" side said quit. I'm so much happier with him here each and every day; working outside the home (as long as he's happy too) wasn't worth it. So you can only begin to imagine what it's been like to be totally without this amazing man since Sunday.
